THE CHALLENGE
New tools have been developed to improve the quality and ease of research and for librarians to support researchers in their work.
Some of these tools are not affordable in EIFL partner countries; others are free but people are not aware of them.
To address this issue, the EIFL Licensing Programme negotiates with vendors of a variety of services for discounted pricing and organizes webinars introducing free tools.
WHAT WE DO
- We negotiate affordable prices for plagiarism detection software.
- We negotiate affordable prices for products that allow libraries to manage licensed e-resources and provide remote access for their users.
- We negotiate discounted prices for editing services for authors.
- We raise awareness about negotiated agreements through support materials and resources, email marketing campaigns, and social media outreach.
- We organize webinars introducing free tools that support researchers, such as reference management and content discovery. Browse EIFL Resources to find webinars introducing technology tools and showing you how to use them.
